Other activities

BAS is currently developing tools for the automatic annotation and segmentation of very large speech corpora. This includes the automatic detection of variants of pronunciation, a statistical based alignment and a rule-based refinement of the outcome. This approach has two major goals:

• The first is to provide better and consistent annotations for speech science and engineering.
• The second is to get a statistical survey of phonetic word forms in German as a basis of an empirically based Complete Phonetic Theory (CPT).
